LEGO dreidel kit: giveaway

Would you like to win a LEGO dreidel kit? Ideally, you’ve all got enough parts at home to make a whole battalion of unique, custom dreidel models, but in case you don’t, take some of mine. The more LEGO dreidels in the world, the better.

My little kit includes parts to make the model above. The colors and bricks will vary, but the dreidel will the same shape. I’m including four Avery stickers so your kid can add the appropriate letters, but he or she may use a Sharpie (if allowed) and write directly on the bricks. (Rubbing alcohol removes Sharpie goofups from LEGO plastic.) That’s it. No frills. Simple. Just for fun.

After countless hours of (fun) testing, this design was one of the best in terms of least number of parts required and least amount of finesse to spin. The “boat stud” as contact point makes a smoooooth and long-lasting spin.

Here’s a parts list in case you want to go ahead and make your own right this minute:

You can eyeball the photo and put it together, right? Let me know if you want instructions.

To Enter: Just leave a comment here or at the Bible Belt Balabusta Facebook Page and I’ll select two (random) winners by noon, CST on Wednesday, November 28, 2012. I’ll contact the winners for mailing info that day, and if I don’t hear back from you within say, three days, I’ll select a runner-up. (U.S. address only, please, because I’m trying to keep things simple.)

I love your emails and I show a lot of then to my boys. My 9 year old flipped over the lego dreidel one, so winning this kit would send him over the moon. Not to mention, make him the envy of his day school class!

Hands-on Jewish Learning

From JOANNA BRICHETTO:
My goal is to help kids and grownups spend time together making Jewish things. I like stuff that is hands-on, attractive, non-fussy, cheap and real, and so fun no one realizes it's educational.

The value is in the doing, not just the being done, and in the conversations and questions that happen along the way. Every project comes with helpful and (hopefully) pleasant chatter, because my native compulsiveness and enthusiasm means that I’ve given the meaning, function, and possible permutations a lot of thought. You won’t need to do much planning, because I’ll have done it for you.

Defining the Terms

It doesn’t matter if you don’t live in the Bible Belt. The geographical modifier is a flag to indicate that the author is used to being outnumbered, without resources, and thus able to do just about anything from scratch. Newbies welcome. I used to be one, long ago.
